Strøget is the longest pedestrian area in the world and the main shopping zone of Copenhagen. In addition to an endless number of shops, Strøget has many sightseeing attractions and is a great place for an afternoon stroll.
In the 1960s, Copenhagen was becoming increasingly busy and overcrowded, and the narrow streets could no longer handle the traffic. A pedestrian zone was established, running between the squares Radhusplads and Kongens Nytorv and consisting of several streets, alleys and squares. Shops here range from expensive brand stores to small boutiques and everything in between. The main advantage of Strøget is that it allows an excellent combination of shopping with sightseeing. The area contains some stunning examples of Danish architecture, and the many street artists make for a lively atmosphere.
Ever since opening in 1891, Illum has been the largest department store chain in Scandinavia. There is, naturally, also a branch on Strøget – a shopping paradise full of clothes, shoes, bags and cosmetics. The golden chandeliers and white marble columns create an elegant atmosphere. Make sure you don't miss the third floor, a large part of which is devoted to Danish interior designers.
Address: Østergade 52

The Church of Our Lady (Vor Frue Kirke), or Copenhagen Cathedral, is the national cathedral of Denmark. While the current building dates back to 1829, there has been a church here since the beginning of the thirteenth century. Over time, the building burned down and had to be replaced several times. The cathedral is most famous for its sculptures of Christ and the Twelve Apostles made by the Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen.
Address: Nørregade 8
Stop by the authentic eatery Det Lille Apotek, i.e., Little Pharmacy, for lunch or dinner. This charming establishment is the oldest restaurant in Copenhagen and dates all the way back to 1720. As the name suggests, it was initially a chemists. The entire interior here radiates a nostalgic ambiance. The menu features a range of genuine Danish specialities such as smørrebrød and roasted pork with prunes.
Address: Store Kannikestræde 15

For some, the coffee-house chain has become an island of calm in a hectic world; for others, it's a place to pick up something civilized to wake them up in the morning.
Starbucks is an iconic symbol of Yuppie culture. It is where young professionals reveal their level of sophistication by ordering complex coffees handcrafted to their particular tastes. The very idea that a Starbucks customers would order their cappuccino while packing heat just does not seem possible.
Not only was it possible, it was being done, so gun-control advocates such as "Moms Demand Action" and the "Coalition to Stop Gun Violence" set in motion that most American of protests — an economic boycott — that ended up costing Starbucks around $11 million a year.
Faced with this, CEO Howard Schultz published a letter making "a respectful request that customers no longer bring firearms into our stores and outdoor seating areas." It was not an outright ban, but rather a polite proposal made to a class of customers who, if nothing else, have long been considered polite.
Yes, there have been a smattering of counter protests and promises of boycotts from the other side, but gun-control advocates are claiming it a victory, and maybe it is.
Closer examination, however, again reveals the social and cultural divide that exists in the land. Starbucks was an easy target. The stores are concentrated in what columnist and cultural critic David Brooks calls "latte towns" — in-town enclaves where young urban professionals gather, college communities and upscale suburban shopping centers —their target clientele has always been those who follow Downton Abbey, not Duck Dynasty. It
is no surprise that those folks would get upset when the guy next to them in line is carrying a gun.
However, recent studies have revealed increasing libertarian leanings among this group, leanings that have manifested themselves into an acceptance of cultural diversity, gay rights and a host of other attitudes toward the way institutions, governmental and otherwise, interfere with choices they feel should be personal.
Will these libertarian leanings eventually work in favor of those who want to carry guns into Starbucks? It is too early to tell, but the outcome, whatever it is, will tell us a lot about the way society is evolving today.

Comment posted on Fife Council joins Aberdeenshire in asking for suspension of wind farm applications by Karl Hughes
Well what can I say the timing falls well given today is the last day of the debate in the Scottish capital.
I take it from this new "tourist attraction" that visit Scotland are on board…however the shine of visiting industrial wind farms will soon wear off…seen one seen them all ! all 1800 + at the rate things are going…once the hills are smothered at least it will give the munro baggers a new quest god bless Don Quixote eh ?
far more interesting development on:http://www.scotsman.com/news/environment/cost-of-scotland-s-energy-uncertain-after-independence-claims-ed-davey-1-2366314
Karl Hughes also commented
- You should come to Tiree…! see the basking sharks…it's a bumper year so far.
- Hi, I Will be around Ardfern in my Contessa during my next break (weather permitting) Lets have a pint or two.
- "potential gravy train before others cottoned on" ???
Without involving NTA…and totally from a personal perspective:
I tell you why Malcolm…because we showed the initiative to share a resource and put the profits directly into our community and not into the hands of off island share holders. If legislation and finance allowed we would use the all the generated power (directly) rather than indirectly on the island…and not see substancial line loss. Our diesel generator would until an alternative arrives back the system up.
Tilley is sustainable and stand alone…I feel our landscape can handle such a structure and also feel that "onshore" we could and should continue to install smaller domestic and agricultural turbines…Such as Coll is also doing…my stance has remained stead fast on this point since I visited CAT in mid-Wales some 25 years ago.
I defer to Tims following comments.
And re-emphasise my commitment to "community Renewables" projects.
Malcolm (Tim) you might want to look at this:
It explains how we raised the cash…basically we borrowed the cash from the bank and are paying it back at a rate lower than the income it is generating…the cash benifits we see now are small in comparison with what she will earn in the not so distant future…
Please read the info and tell me if we, in your opinion are on the aformentioned Gravy Train or not
- Malcolm…having oil does not make using it right…as I have just said…our reliance on oil is an addiction .
Relgious politics in the Gulf, Sunni/Shia/Walid etc mean that if the Gulf came embroiled in a war and the gulf stopped moving oil…we could see an increase at the pumps of around 35% overnight…the problem is our strategic reserves (I talk about europe here) would last but a few weeks…rationing would not be an option and the price increase would never be applied…anarchy would follow…this is not some sort of hollywood movie this is a real possiblity, more so now than yesterday…
There is no alternative than to have a mix of energy source…I believe community generation is one of the ways to go (others do not) I believe saving is the way to go (others do not)…one thing is for certain if we do not act now (yesterday) we (the human race) will have civilisation changing concequences to face within my childrens life times…and most likely in mine too…we have to face the future now and not put it on our kids or their kids…we have to.
- As an example if the Argyll Array went ahead (Ye God's forbid) its generation when turning, theoretically will be on par with Scotlands current entire Hydro generation.
Note: on storage…agreed super connector to Norway will be used for pumped storage…?

The fact is H2O, Scotland needs immigrants, people from the " colors of humanity" English folk like me make up about half a million of the Scottish population and then there are others from around the globe…about 1.2 persons to every 250 in Scotland was not born in Scotland….it needs to be more to maintain the population…
I don't actually care on which way folk intend to vote in the Indy Ref…as long as they are aware of all the pro's and con's of either argument…and that these are presented in a non racist, non-political, objective and truthfull manner…I have enough confidence in our democracy to know the outcome will eventually be correct…
I will just add that you fail on all four of the previous points…and the sad thing for you is that you don't even see it.

Thank you to Montrose County Commissioners David White and Gary Ellis in regard to the Uncompahgre Pit denial on Oct. 7 (and a quick return to good health for Mr. Henderson). There was some concern among South Valley residents that the applicant and his associates may have undue influence on our local government officials. In the case of Mr. White and Mr. Ellis clearly this was not true; they did the right thing for the majority of their constituents, many of whom have spoken out strongly against this project, and understandably so. The Commissioners supported the County Master Plan and enforced Zoning as they are required to do by our State Laws and County Resolutions. They were in turn supported by a knowledgeable and reasonable county manager, Rick Eckert.
Property rights do not stop at the edge of your property, as Americans we have laws dating back to the Constitution protecting us from damage without due compensation. In this case, the applicant was simply stepping over those bounds with a project that was too large and too industrial for the Agricultural/Residential area it was planned for. An estimated $10 million in property value was at stake if the project was allowed to commence; along with a drop in quality of life for many folks, increased truck traffic on Hwy. 550 and potential health issues.
Our elected officials researched this complicated matter with due diligence and did what was best for the majority. During this time of government shutdown, favoritism and dysfunction it is a refreshing thing to see.
Thank you, gentlemen.
– Janice Wheeler, Montrose

Using the side cutters, cut 18" of hematite chain. Set aside.
Insert a head pin through one square plastic bead. Using the round nose pliers, bend the head pin at a 45° angle. Using the side cutters, trim the edge to about ¼". Using the round nose pliers, make a simple loop. Repeat one more time. Set aside.
Taking your wire, cut about 2" with side cutters. Loop the wire through the hole in the teardrop bead, twist, loop around your round nose pliers, and twist again, securing the wire. Snip off excess wire as needed. Repeat two more times. Set aside.
Taking the chain from the first step, attach one teardrop shaped bead to the center of your chain using a jump ring. This will now be referred to as the Center Bead.
Starting at the Center Bead, count five loops on the chain and attach a square bead. Count 5 more loops and attach a teardrop bead. Repeat this for the other side of your necklace.
Attach a jump ring to each loop of the chain that has a bead hanging from it.
Using the side cutters, cut four 3" pieces and four 4" pieces of small chain. Pair them together, one of each length. You should now have four groups of chain.
Taking a jump ring, attach each pair of chains together, making one long chain. This will be referred to as the Draped Chain.
Using the chain nose pliers, attach the Draped Chain behind each bead on your necklace, starting from left to right.
To finish your necklace, attach a lobster clasp to one end and jump ring to the other.

Then a few years later the old woman came back. No one noticed her because she was green with gray hair. When she came through the town everyone went running except for one little girl.
The witch picked her up and flew away on her broom. When she got to where her old house used to be she pointed her wand at it and it appeared again. The witch took the little girl in her house. When the little girl saw it she started crying, saying "I want my mom and dad!" Then the witch used her wand to show her pictures of her dad. The little girl stopped crying and started trying to talk to her dad. Then the witch took the pictures away.
The witch said to the little girl, "If I make your room pink and with unicorns and pictures of your family will you agree to live with me?" The little girl shook her head and agreed to stay. The witch was so happy. She made the little girl's room and then they were both so happy. The old woman named the little girl Katie. The little girl loved the name. The witch fed the little girl what she wanted every day. Then the little girl grew up and turned 10 years old. She started going outside and hunting with her own bow and arrow. Then her mom and dad found her and the witch. They were about to kill the witch, but Katie jumped in the way and said, "Even though she took me doesn't mean she is not a good person, she has cared for me and I love her. She gave me my own room and has fed me great. You can't kill her!"
Her family was touched that a 10-year-old girl could say such meaningful words so Katie's mom gave the witch a makeover and they let her move in with them. Then the little girl was not so little anymore. She grew up, got married and had kids. She moved out and got her own house. Katie let the witch, who didn't look so much like a witch anymore, move in with her. The witch was so happy that she wanted a family of her own. So Katie found the witch a boyfriend and they got married and had green children and had more children and she loved every one of them and took care of all 10 of her children and her green husband loved every one of their children too. And they lived happily ever after.

Hi. I am starting as well. I did the BFL in 2003 and saw good results. Now after having 2 children I am in need to start the process again. I have never entered in any competition and I'm so excited to start. I am also excited that others are starting too and can follow each other's progress for motivation!
I am starting on September 10 and would love to have people o help keep me (and you) all the way to day 84!!
Me too. Starting tomorrow (10th) and will finish this 12 week Challenge on the 2nd of December.
It's good to have each other to share the ups and downs
How are the first 2 days going? I'm sore...but a good sore!
I started yesterday, September 10th and would love to buddy up.
I started on the 27th of August and have no one to share with. I realize I am two weeks ahead, but can I hop on this train? :)
Hi, I am starting tomorrow. I would love to join up with you. Anyone want to start us a "thread" or group? I don't know how it works. :)
I don't know how to do it either...how is the eating portion going for you all?
Should we all move to the group "starting Sept 10"?
Today was my first "official" day. It was tough! I had a nasty migraine so at least I wasn't interested in eating this morning :)
The eating portion is going well for me. (Day 1) We'll talk after day two! I plan on finishing this thing, and finishing strong so I don't want to ruin my chances going back to my old, unhealthy habits.
I hope you all are doing well. After one day, I feel like I am in control of my life again. The hardest part for me was getting started and planning to stick with it.

Favorite sport not t&f.............
A place for the discussion of all things not closely related to the sport and its competitive side. (as always, locked for the duration of major international championship)
FIS World Cup.
No need to tell you who my favourite Alpine Skiier is.
Fischer had never beaten him. Spassky won the first game. Fischer forfeited the second. Then Fischer won 7 out of the next 19, Spassky won one and 11 were drawn.
College Basketball, can you feel the Madness!!!!!!!
Go Titans!!!!!!
But I'll watch any competition, really, I've even watched a matches of Curling!!!
well you certainly think so(or maybe you know). why not go back the mj thread and respond to accelarator. he has called you out. you dont seem to answer.
sure thing smart guy. i think your on the wrong thread.
I don't know if it's the overwhelming commercial load on TV (which actually translates to a even worse product in person, because at home you can at least get up and dust a shelf or do something to be productive instead of just sitting there), but I'm starting to find most sports just too long and drawn out, with too much dead time. Of course, maybe there's just the chance that I'm turning in to a raging intellectual
not a good boxing match!!! 1 minute to rest.
To watch
Over all Volleyball but also cross skiing, ice skating, and all sports during Olympics
To play
Beach volley, soccer, basketball
Are polo and field hockey the same sport?
no horses in field hockey ?? are there any other animals?
Nuvoleinviaggio has got it right: beach volleyball is the most fun sport to play. As long as you can also jump in the ocean and surf in some fashion (bodysurf, sponge, boardsurf, it doesn't matter... any kind of waveriding in warm water is a primal experience!)

Robert Ward displays one of two pieces of a meteorite he found at a park in Lotus, Calif., Wednesday, April 25, 2012. Ward found the pieces from a meteor that was probably about the size of a minivan when it entered the Earth's atmosphere with a loud boom about 8 a.m. Sunday. The rocks came from a meteor, believed to between 4 to 5 billion years old. Ward, who has been hunting and collecting meteorites for more than 20 years, said they are believed to be "one of the oldest things known to man and one of the rarest types of meteorites there is."

Hello All,
Looks like a nice site. I'm glad to be here!
I have to travel to Trinidad for work and want to make a side Tobago for some SCUBA diving. I am hoping one of you fine people can offer suggestions for budget-friendly accommodations on the northern end of the island, where the more interesting diving seems to be. I'm open to any other suggestions as well, as I've never been to the area.
Thanks in advance!

Karl Brown narrowly missed out on another Championship century but provided the backbone of Lancashire's first innings effort at the Rose Bowl
Brown admitted that he was happier with today's 96 on a tricky pitch during the opening day against Hampshire than he was with opening week 114 against Sussex at Liverpool.
Brown's 174-ball knock, including 14 boundaries, helped his side recover from 65-3 during the morning session to post a competitive 328 all out from 95.4 overs.
Brown shared 100 for the fourth wicket with Steven Croft, who made 37, before Kyle Hogg and Sajid Mahmood shared an entertaining 68 from 12 overs for the eighth wicket in the evening session.
Hogg and Mahmood took 34 runs from the first three overs with the second new ball, hitting 38 and 32 respectively.
Former Red Rose all-rounder Dominic Cork, the Hampshire captain, finished with 4-78 from 24.5 overs, while David Griffiths took three wickets, Kabir Ali two and left-arm spinner Danny Briggs one.
Brown, 23 years old, said: "If you are going on the wickets we played on, I think this one was a way better knock (than Sussex).
"It was a tricky pitch and difficult to get in on. It's done a bit all day, even with the older ball. When I did get in, I wanted to cash in. I fell four runs short, but I'd have taken 96 before I went out. I'm pretty pleased."
While the contest remains fairly evenly, Lancashire will be the happier of the two dressing rooms considering Cork won the toss and had seen his side take three early wickets courtesy of some excessive bounce off a length.
Paul Horton gloved the sixth ball of the match to James Vince at third slip, giving Cork his first, before Stephen Moore slashed Griffiths behind to Nic Pothas and Mark Chilton fended a short-pitched snorter from Griffiths to a diving Briggs at cover.
Brown and Croft then settled things down either side of lunch, with batting becoming slightly easier after the break.
But, having spent just short of 30 overs together, Croft fell lbw trying to sweep Briggs' first ball to leave the score at 165-4 in the 53rd.
Brown then fell caught behind off Cork in the 58th with only another 18 runs added, failing to avoid a short-pitched ball from Cork. He could only divert it behind where Pothas took a fine catch one-handed going away to his left down the leg-side.
Tom Smith then went for 17 early in the evening session, well caught by Jimmy Adams at second slip off the bowling of Cork, to leave the score at 196-6 in the 67th.
Hogg and Mahmood then combined for an entertaining hour or so, with the former even taking 18 runs off Griffiths' bowling with the second new ball in his hand.
But both departed with consecutive deliveries, Mahmood bowled by Griffiths for 32 off 49 balls and Hogg trapped lbw by Kabir for 38 off 46. That left Lancs at 296-9 and in danger of missing out on their third batting bonus point.
Gary Keedy and Oliver Newby, however, ensured that was secured as they put on 32 for the last wicket. Keedy was trapped lbw by Cork with the fourth ball of the day's final over.
"We feel like it's a good score," assessed Brown. "It's definitely something to bowl at. If we bowl in good areas tomorrow, we can cause some problems. We ended up putting a couple of good partnerships together."
Coach Peter Moores was made four changes from last week's Roses match, with three of them enforced.
Glen Chapple missed out due to his leg problem, while Farveez Maharoof and James Anderson are both on international duty.
Those three were replaced by Hogg, Newby and Mahmood, while fit again Tom Smith is playing in place of Luke Procter.

Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 50, Folder 2, Mansfield Libary, University of Montana
s 9984 CONGRESS! ON AL RECORQ-SENATE June 7, 1974
By Mr. MANSFIELD:
S. 3600. A bill to stabilize the economy
and mitigate the effects of in.fiation by
providing for minimum annual increases
in wages. Referred to the Committees on
Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs and
Labor and Public Welfare, by unanimous
Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, I introduce
a bill entitled "The Wage Adjustment
Act of 1974" and ask unanimous
consent that it be referred simultaneously
to the Committee on Banking,
Housing and Urban Affairs and the Committee
on Labor and Public Welfare.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without
objection, it is so ordered.
Mr. MANSFIELD. Last week, Mr.
Pre.sident, on the Senate floor, I reminded
the Senate of what every Ben- .
ator knows only too well-that the No. 1
ec~c problem confronting this
Naton and the world today is inflation.
In Europe and Asia national inflation
rates run from 15 to 30 percent. In the
United States the most recent monthly
inflation rate is 12.4 percent. For the first
quarter of this year the inflation rate
was 14.2 percent. For the most recent 12-
month period the rate is 10.2 percent.
Production in this country is declining
at an annual rate of 6 percent. Wages
are lagging behind prices for the 13th
consecutive month. Workers' families
have approximately 6 percent less to
spend that a year ago. The stock market
is in a steady decline. The interest rates
are at record highs. As I said last week,
if the present trend continues Americans
will have to make twice what they are
ma.lting today in 1980 just to keep even.
But there are no solutions forthcoming.
I think it is time to put a primary focus
on this most severe problem. I do hope,
however, that it will provide a vehicle
upon which a national dialog can commence
so that this most pervasive national
problem can be given the attention
at the highest levels that it so
rightly deserves.
The bill I have introduced today would
r(!(luire every employer whoae employees
are presently covered by the social !lecurity
laws to give that employee a costof-
living increase each year comparable
to the Government-determined 1nfiation
rate for the previous 12 montha. Presently
there are approximately ii.4 mill1on
orga.nized workers who ha.Ye contract
provisions for a cost-of-living increase.
However, there are 85 million other workers
in the United States and they, too,
are a.f!e<;ted by inflation. It was through
the social security defln1tion that I felt
we could reach the work force we hope
to cover.
At present these is a cost-of-living increase
for social security beneficiaries
and Government pensi®ers. Provisions
of this bill would also include a cost-ofliving
increase and adjustment in the
minimum wage.
I had contemplated Including a similar
indexing and cost-of-living Increase in
U.S. Government savings bonds and Govennment
securities. I think that this
would be a mechanism whereby there
would be an inflation-free return of principal
on these Government securities. It
was my thought that this feature would
provide a source of investment for private
pension funds or other people who
would rely upon the fixed income to have
a similar compensation for an inflationary
rate. However, I think such a provision
would under the existing climate offer
such an attractive investment that it
would dry up the already almost nonexistent
available funds in the marketplace
and add to our economic woes
rather than solve them. I believe it is
almost imPQ68ible now to get mortgage
money and as a result homebuilding is
grinding to a halt and aggravating the
economic ills of this country.
For this reason, I deferred inclusion
of such a provision in this bill.
There have been other bills introduced.
Senator BucKLEY has introduced
a bill which would adJust the tax rate
to . compensate for a rise in inflation
thereby providing a comparable spending
income to those who pay taxes. I
think that that approach should be considered
along with this particular approach
so that our energies can be devoted
to this most serious and potentially
disastrous nation and worldwide
problem. I am hopeful that the appropriate
committees-Banking, Housing
and Urban Affairs, the Labor Committee.
and perhaps the Joint Economic Committee-
can give this proposal immediate
consideration and hopefully It can provide
the vehicle for a most needed national
In conclusion, Mr. President, may I say
that the bill I am introducing today Js
not offered as a panacea, but only as a
base from which other thinkintJ can develop
and, perhaps, some ctrres for Inflation
I ask unanimous consent that the text
of the bill and the statement I made
In the Senate on May 30 be inserted at
the conclusion of my remarks.
There being no objection, the text of
the bill and the statement were ordered
to be printed in the RECORD, 8.8 follows:
s. 3600

RepresentaUves O/ the United States of

establishes that his action was not t.n~ntlonal
and resulted from a bona ftde error
notwithstanding the maintenance of procedures
reasonabl;!' adapted to the avoidance of
such error the liability of the defendant shall
be limited to the amount of the Increase.
Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, lnfiatlon
Js the No. 1 economic p~;oblem confronting
this Nation and the world today.
Inll.atlon was not caused by Watergate;
It Is worldwide.
Olfhand, the Inflation figures far the
United Kingdom, as I recall them, Ill around
16 peroent; France, 16 percent; Denmark, :;til
to SO percent; Japan, around 26 percent, and
!10 forth.
In the United States:
Infiatlon ls around 12 percent;
Production Is decllnlng around 6 percent;
Wages are lagging behind prices for the
13th consecutive months;
Workers families have approximately 6
percent leas to spend than a year ago;
The stock market Is down;
Prime Interest rates are up to 1%, percent.
If present trends continue, we wlll have
to make twice as much In 1980 as we are
mak:lng today, just to keep even.
What are we doing about the situation?
The answer Is nothing.
That appllee to CongreBB and the executive
branch of the Government.
What Is the answer? I do not know definItively
but I belleve consideration should
be given to a proposa.l known as lndexlng.
It would provide for annual adjustment6 to
reflect Increases In the cost of living. The
basis for. adjustments would be tbe cost of
living Index.
It has been estimated that taking all social
security payments Into consideration,
about 50 mllllon Americans have Incomes
directly tied ·to the Consumer Price Index,
and the Increases are automatic as the coot
o! living goes up.
Add wage escalator a11reement.s In union
contracts now In being and they oover, as
I understanc1 It, around 6 mllllpn workers.
Furthermore, almost every new wage agreement
covers this particular escalator olause
at the present time. Add Government pensioners,
both civilian and mllltary, and that
must t.nclude several mllllon more who are
" Indexed."
Will It stop Inflation? I do not lulow, but
It wlll at least allow millions to keep even.
I! we cannot stop or reduce lnfiation-and
the Government, the administration and the
CongreBB, are unwllllng to do so-then let us
try this propOI!al and at least endeavor to
keep even.
It Is my Intention. Mr President, some
time next week, to Introduce legislation seekIng
to establish an Index on wages and salaries
so that something at least can be attempted
to bring about a halt or at least an
e.llevlatlon to the hlgh cost of living which
is rampant throughout the Nation and
throughout the world today.
Mr. ALLEN. Mr. President, will the Senator
yield to me after the distinguished minority
leader has spoken?
Mr. MANSFIELD. I Will be glad to yield now,
on my tlme.
Mr. ALLEN. I thank the Senator very much.
I should like to aalt the dlatlngulshed majority
leader It It would not also be helpful
In the battle agal.mt t.nflatlon to balance tbe
Federal budget?
Mr. MANSFIELD, It certe.lnly would.
Mr. ALLEN. Are a.ny elforts being made In
that regard by the Congress?
Mr. MANB:nELD. By neither the CongreBB nor
the administration. We are both to blame.
I think, In large part, for the fix In which we
lind ourselves today.
The only stablllzlng element Is, In my opinIon,
the Federal !Userve Bank where Arthur
Burns Is trying to do a job and has been a
Cassandra 'for months tryln~ to warn us thn.t
110methln~ must be done before the economic
condition of the country breaks down and
becomes more horrible than It 1s now.
Mr. ALLEN. Does the Senator think there
Is any possibility of balancing the Federal
budget for the ncrt fiscal year, starting In
Mr. MANSFIELD. I would not say. That
would be up to Congress and the administration.
I would point out, so far as Congress Is
concerned, In the first I years of the present
administration, If my memory serves me correctly,
that we reduced the requests of the
Pres.ldent by about e22 billion to e23 billion.
During that period, the deficit was IncreasIng,
conservatively spealdng, by $100 blll!On.
The House just the other day, by a one-vote
margin, passed a substantial increase In the
debt limit, which Is now approaching the
$600 billion mark. 7

Secret Santa 2012 – Samurai Champloo
As you'll have seen from the 2010 and 2011 offerings, this is the Reverse Thieves' annual Secret Santa project, where the only gift you need to give is the gift of a great series your pick hasn't had the pleasure of seeing yet. In this year's post to the blog, I'm looking at a series that I'm sure many people have watched already, given it's already been licensed. It's Samurai Champloo, a hip-hop infused sword-fest by Manglobe, following our three main characters as they skulk around Japan looking for a smelly samurai.
If there's one thing that I value in anime above all else, more than piffling things like character development and story, it's style. Style over substance any day, I say. Luckily, this show has it in droves. Samurai Champloo is dripping in a strange concoction of American hip-hop and Edo period Japanese chivalry. On paper, these two styles are really like oil and water, but all you have to do is watch and see the two mix together surprisingly well, not least helped along by the effortlessly cool soundtrack by Nujabes who, much like the style of the show, merges the hard edge of hip-hop with more ambient melodies in his offering.

This is why it is a good thing to always bring your rainchecks with you when you go into a store. I went to CVS tonight and hoped to use a raincheck on bottled water that I need, but they were out of stock. I always paperclip my rainchecks and the coupons I plan to use and keep them in my CVS file in my binder. When I go into the store, I just grab my rainchecks.
Well, to my surprise, I had rainchecks for two items that were in stock. Both of the items gave ECBs (CVS rainchecks include ECBs).
I purchased:1 Zantac 24 ct, $8.99 (raincheck) 1 Pepcid 5 ct, $5.99 (raincheck)1 Papermate 8 ct pens, $1.99 (regular price) Total: $16.97 -$3 off $15 CVS coupon that printed at the kiosk last week -$5 off Zantac CVS coupon, received in the mail -$5 off Zantac MQ, received in the mail (it was valued down to $3.97) -$5 off Pepcid, printable, no longer availableOut of Pocket: $1.26 (tax)
Received$1.99 ECB for Papermate pens$3.00 ECB for Zantac$6.00 ECB for Pepcid
That's a $9.73 money maker!

The Huskies, who entered the game ranked 21st
in the AP poll
and 23rd in the ESPN/USA Today coaches poll, trailed by as much as
10 in the
second half but battled back, taking a 60-59 lead on a trio of
free throws by
Ryan Boatright with 2:23 left in the game.
But sophomore point guard Hugh Greenwood
answered with a
trey of his own to spark UNM's final run. The Lobos hit all four
of their free
throws in the final 39 seconds as part of a school record 21 of 21
from the charity stripe.
"I like the fight in this team," said UNM head
coach Steve Alford. "I think we won this championship at the free-throw line.
Obviously, it
(free-throw shooting) is emphasized. But the guys have to get
there first and
then make them. We're making them. We set a school record
Greenwood added 12 points and seven rebounds
for New Mexico
(4-0). Tony Snell

and Alex Kirk scored 10 points and pulled in four rebounds. Cam
Bairstow came
off the bench to add eight points and six rebounds.
Shabazz Napier led Connecticut (4-1) with 23
including 13 straight Husky points during one second-half stretch.
added 12 points and Omar Calhoun 10.
The two teams battled back and forth in the
first half as
neither team was able to find its shooting stroke. New Mexico shot
just 8 of 24
in the half (33 %), but was flawless at the free-throw line,
shooting 11 of11.
UConn held and early 6-2 lead then led 23-17 the Lobos launched a
10-2 run to
grab a 27-25 lead. Snell hit a 3-pointer to end the first-half as
UNM took a
30-27 lead into halftime.
The Lobos opened the second half on a 9-2 run,
extending the
lead to 39-29 but Napier led UConn back and the Huskies took their
only lead of
the game at 60-59 before UNM rallied for the win.
"Any time, before Thanksgiving, you can have
three wins away
from your place, that's huge," Alford said. "It was great. We beat
national ranked team in the third game in four days. We showed
some of our
depth and I like how we guarded. We know we have a lot of
weaknesses and we
have to get home and work on those weaknesses over the holidays.
"But this win makes the long trip home tomorrow
very, very nice," said Alford.
New Mexico outrebounded UConn 30-20 and the
Lobos bench
outscored the Huskie reserves 18-4. The Lobos reserves – Bairstow,
Adams, Jamal Fenton, Nick Banyard and Cleveland Thomas – combined to shoot 5 of

About Sleeve Gastrectomy
Bariatric Surgery Program
About Sleeve Gastrectomy
There are several different options for weight loss surgery. It is important that you gather all of the information you need and talk with your doctor about what type of weight loss surgery is right for you.
Weight loss surgery can be categorized in one of two ways:
- Restrictive: food is restricted but digestion and absorption remains normal
- Malabsorptive: the size of the stomach is reduced, and digestion is altered
Sleeve gastrectomy is a restrictive procedure in which the surgeon reduces the size of the stomach. Using staples, the surgeon will create a sleeve-shaped stomach and the excised portion of the stomach is removed.
This procedure is typically for patients with a BMI of 60 or higher and is usually performed as the first part of a two-procedure treatment, with the second part being gastric bypass.
Advantages of Sleeve Gastrectomy
There are several advantages of having the sleeve gastrectomy procedure:
- Patients typically lose from 30 to 80 percent of their weight
- Type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure will be improved
- Digestion and absorption remain normal
- Although follow-up care will continue, no postoperative adjustments need to be made
Risks of Sleeve Gastrectomy
- Separation of tissue that was stapled or stitched together
- Leaks from staples
- Ulcers
- Gastric leakage
- Risks inherent with any surgery

If you think sleeve gastrectomy is right for you, call today 732-418-8110 to sign up for one of our free seminars or to request an individual consultation.

Why are so many Christian teens walking away from their faith during the college years? Focus on the Family's TrueU video curriculum offers an introduction to apologetics (a defense of belief in God) that aims to help reverse this trend. Featuring Christian worldview experts like Dr. Del Tackett, Dr. Stephen Meyer, Lee Strobel, Dr. Gary Habermas, and more – the series equips students to stand up for their beliefs in the face of a culture that tells them their faith is absurd, obsolete and impractical.
TrueU is a valuable resource for youth groups, college campus clubs, Sunday School classes, home-based small groups, homeschools, and individuals who want to strengthen their faith. The series consists of three sets of videos and study guides: #1 "Does God Exist?", #2 "Is the Bible Reliable?", and #3 "Who is Jesus?"(releasing October of 2013).
TrueU is a precursor to the in-depth study presented in Focus on the Family's The Truth Project® of how to live out a Christian worldview. Those who are interested in TrueU may also enjoy joining a The Truth Project small group. Learn more at TheTruthProject.org.
Who Is Jesus?, number three in the TrueU video series, is a ten-lesson DVD for teens and college students that focuses on the evidence for Jesus himself. Hosted and taught by Del Tackett, from Focus on the Family's The Truth Project, this product can be used as a small group or individual study to give students the confidence to speak about their faith, and to defend the existence and identity of Christ. It features strong historical evidence by demonstrating the validity of the key figures in involved in Jesus' trial and crucifixion, and a compelling argument for His divinity. The lessons delve into topics like: Is Jesus the only way to God?, His birth, life, death and resurrection. Also features other key experts like Lee Strobel, Michael Farris, Gary Habermas, Louis Lapides and Greg Koukl. This video is sure to provide students with Biblical facts and evidence that corroborate Jesus' life and divinity, and equip them to stand strong in their faith when the tough questions come at them.

There was no red carpet rolled out. The reception was more akin to in-laws coming over to stay the weekend.
That's how Northeastern State was greeted when it started playing in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association last fall.
There was no welcome wagon to greet the RiverHawks. No pleasantries exchanged. Instead, NSU was thrown to the wolves immediately, hosting the reigning national champion, Pittsburg State, at Doc Wadley Stadium.
NSU hung tough early on, but was humbled in the end with a 41-20 setback. Such was life in the MIAA for six weeks for the RiverHawks.
The roller coaster ride ensued, with NSU dropping six straight games, four of which were at least competitive in the fourth quarter. Same could not be said for NSU's darkest hour: a 66-6 beatdown on Sept. 29 at the hands of Northwest Missouri State — on the MIAA Network, no less.
However, that gave way to a revival of sorts for the remainder of NSU's 2012 season. The RiverHawks nearly upset No. 5 Missouri Western, and following that NSU closed out the campaign with four straight triumphs.
The green-and-white clad football team from northeast Oklahoma went from being the butt of most jokes to a bully of sorts by season's end.
That's what needs to continue to happen in 2013. The RiverHawks must become the predator, not revert back to the prey.
It won't be easy. Pitt State, Washburn, Emporia State, Northwest Missouri State and Missouri Western will still be pains in the backside. But each of those listed, nearly every one lost a key cog from last year's team.
In Emporia, Kan., it was wide receiver Shjuan Richardson and tight end Adam Shiltz. Missouri Western could be hit hard by the absence of running back Michael Hill, defensive linemen David Bass and Ben Pister, and offensive lineman Macon Allan. Maryville, Mo.'s finest feel the effects of losing linebacker Collin Debuysere and defensive back Nate DeJong. Pitt State will virtually back from last year's team, but it usually doesn't matter in southeast Kansas — the Gorillas are always good.
Meanwhile, minus losing Michael Bowie — who played a near-perfect left tackle, NSU returns a team on the cusp of monumental success. Johnny Deaton has a yet another year under his belt at quarterback and should be the drill sergeant the RiverHawks need on offense. Joel Rockmore and Terrence Dixon could make up the best one-two punch at running back.
On Saturday, in NSU's annual Green and White spring game, Dixon and Rockmore combined for 128 yards rushing. It may not sound overly impressive, but the tandem did it with Green loading the box with walk-on Corey Meadors playing quarterback. Thus, 128 yards doesn't seem too shabby.
Also key to NSU's offensive explosion will be Ethan James will move over from right tackle and fill Bowie's void on the left side of the offensive front, and Ross Dvorak could be the league's best center. And NSU has a group of wide receivers that the coaches are high on.
On the defensive unit, Victor Johnson will be the RiverHawks' middle-of-the-field enforcer at his safety position. Same goes for linebackers, Langston Jones and Jack Gray. Vernon Jones will be NSU's shut-down corner, and Marquin Watts isn't far behind. Then, Faafetai Te'o and Kinley Choute will bolster a defensive line in need of some girth up front.
And the best part for NSU head coach Kenny Evans? Most of the players penciled in on the two-deep this season will still be around in 2014.
The future is bright. NSU could soon be the envy of the league. But that won't happen until NSU sheds the punching-bag persona and opts to become a ruthless dictator.

On this topic, the legendary Paul McCartney was right on the money: There's no way that the world has had enough of silly love songs.
And what's wrong with that? Music won't add inches to your waistline, like a box of chocolates will. It won't wither and die, the inevitable fate of those bouquets that turn into unintentional metaphors for love gone bad.
From Frank Sinatra to Taylor Swift, the love song is timeless. Somewhere, at this very moment, a teenager is swooning over Justin Bieber's "One Less Lonely Girl," although for Valentine's Day love songs, it's always wise to stick with the classics.
Here's a can't-miss list of romantic mood music:
•"Let's Stay Together," Al Green: Silky, sexy, effortlessly stylish. The soul singer's 1972 signature hit is everything that lovers aspire to be. Heck, even President Barack Obama, who sang a snippet of the song at an appearance in 2012, has used the song's seductive power.
• "Can't Get Enough of You, Babe," Barry White: His sonorous crooning was the foundation for numerous bedroom-fixated love songs, including "I'm Gonna Love You Just a Little More, Baby." Nothing tops "Can't Get Enough," however, for its mix of sexual energy and dance-worthy beat.
•"All of Me," Frank Sinatra: For a swinging love song, it's hard to top this big-band classic. Who could refuse when the Chairman of the Board asks, "Why not take all of me?"
•"I Will Always Love You," Whitney Houston: There are subtle love songs and then there's this: Houston belting out the soaring chorus to an anthem that goes out with a bang, not a whimper. Yes, Dolly Parton wrote it (and recorded it first), but Whitney owns it.
•"In Your Eyes," Peter Gabriel: What scuffling romantic hasn't imagined imitating John Cusack's famous boombox scene in the 1989 romantic comedy "Say Anything"? That gesture — noble, vulnerable — couldn't have happened without Gabriel's haunting song. (In a pinch, the Modern English hit "I Melt the World" — featured in the 1983 film "Valley Girl" — also fits the same cinematic mold.)
•"Ain't No Mountain High Enough," Diana Ross: Another grand love song. Ms. Ross balances the big chorus with heartfelt spoken-word interludes: "Whenever you need me, call me. No matter where you are. No matter how far." That's love.
•"Help Me Make It Through the Night," Kris Kristofferson: The singer and songwriter penned two classic country love songs, "Help Me Make It Through the Night" and "For the Good Times." The former makes the list for its portrait of vulnerability and fleeting love.
•"I Can't Make You Love Me," Bonnie Raitt: When it comes to romantic vulnerability, it's hard to top this ballad about the powerless side of love. "I can't make you love me, if you don't." Sad, but true.
•"I Can't Help Falling In Love With You," Elvis Presley: Even the King of Rock and Roll is no match for love in this ballad that exudes optimism about taking a risk with one's heart. "Like a river flows, surely to the sea/ Darling, so it goes/ Some things are meant to be."
• "Something," the Beatles: George Harrison wrote this song for his wife, Patti Boyd, the muse who inspired at least two other classic love songs by Derek and the Dominos ("Layla") and Eric Clapton ("Wonderful Tonight'). Talk about the power of love.

Friday, April 25, 2014
By Eric Russell email@example.com
Staff Writer
Gun retailers across Maine and the nation expected interest in firearms to spike after the school shootings in Newtown, Conn., on Dec. 14, and they were right.
Recently released FBI data show that all 50 states had increases from November to December in the number of firearm background checks initiated through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System.
In fact, the number of background checks in December was the highest in any month since the system was started in 1998.
The average increase per state was 41 percent, and 17 states recorded increases of at least 50 percent, led by Georgia, which processed 66 percent more background checks in December than it did in November.
Maryland had the smallest increase, 12 percent.
Maine's increase of 36.5 percent was its biggest month-to-month jump since 1998. A total of 12,416 background checks were initiated in Maine last month, an increase from 9,094 in November.
The number of background checks does not correlate exactly with gun sales. The FBI data do not indicate how many people fail background checks or the number of guns purchased with each check. Also, private sales and sales at gun shows are not always subject to background checks.
Still, the FBI data clearly show a spike in the number of people buying guns in the wake of the shootings that killed 26 people at Sandy Hook Elementary School in December.
Shortly after the shootings, Jeff Weinstein, president of the Maine Gun Owners Association, said gun sales always increase after incidents of mass violence.
"It's a reminder that it's a rather violent society," he said. "People don't just jump out and buy a gun. They're already thinking about it."
Last month's increase mirrors spikes after past gun-related events, according to FBI numbers.
Other events in 2012 increased interest in guns, including the shootings at a movie theater in Aurora, Colo., in July and the re-election of President Obama, which many conservatives saw as a threat to gun rights, even though Obama hadn't pushed for gun control in his first term.
In Maine, the number of background checks for gun purchases has been growing steadily since 2008.
From 2003 through 2007, the annual number fluctuated between 50,000 and 53,000. By 2009, it eclipsed 60,000. By 2011, it increased to 73,127.
Last year, the total was 91,834, an increase of about 80 percent within the last decade.
Nationally, background checks have followed a similar upward trend.
"I think gun owners pay close attention to politics, and we've had an uptick in Maine ever since Obama was elected," said George Smith, a well-known lobbyist in Augusta who was director of the Sportsman's Alliance of Maine.
Last month's school shootings gave the administration both the public support and the political muscle to address gun control, although there is no guarantee that any major changes will be made.
In Maine, the shootings spurred talk of gun control at the local level. Portland officials, including Mayor Michael Brennan and Police Chief Michael Sauschuck, will host an event Monday at City Hall to introduce a national TV ad featuring family members of victims of gun violence, demanding a plan of action from political leaders.
Among other things, the ad calls for a requirement that every person who buys a gun passes a criminal background check.
Smith said most gun owners support background checks.
